Jedox vs Microsoft Power BI comparison

"The solution is quick with analysis and calculation. The tool offers high digitalization which helps us to run the controlling department with less number of people. If the software wasn't there, I would need two to three people extra to run the department."

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"The solution is very versatile."

"We use the tool for performance management and planning."

"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."

"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."

"The Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."

"The ETL itself was pretty useful and it's integrated in the tenant itself. So the Olap service technology was impressive to me. In order to extract that and load it in the tube in the same tenant or the same tool that was something magnificent because I actually missed this in SEB. SEB requires another tool, and you have to integrate all the tools together. But for Jedox, it was in the one tool."

"It is in the cloud, which makes it easy for mobile access of reports and data."

"Its visualization capabilities are pretty good. It is very easy to use. You can easily make your dashboard."

"The solution is easy to use and flexible."

"The drill-down capabilities and automatic charts are the best ones. The visualization is also very good. In terms of visualization, no competing product, such as IBM Cognos or any other product, has the same capabilities."

"I like the flexibility it offers."

"Power BI allows me to show detailed improvements in quality and safety and patient experience."

"The initial setup is simple to do."

"Two valuable most features are the ability to create columns and create measures."

"Being an analytical solution, it should have more visualization options like graphs. When we are putting it, it should have more options. The UI can be made more modernized based on today's market. Sometimes, when we are doing heavy reports or dashboarding, there is a bit of a performance issue because it is pulling up a huge amount of data. That can be improvised by buffer memory and getting some buffer memory feature into it. It is a bit complex because it is a CPM solution. It helps you to get the information based on the different tools that we are using, which is a bit of a complex thing. It is not as easy as Microsoft Power BI. It is also not that easy as an implementation piece. It takes time to convert the business requirement into the proper solutions in the tool, which is time-consuming. It took about eight months to do the complete implementation. We got some training from the partner and the Jedox team, which helped us later on in pulling things forward, but too much learning is required, and too many possibilities are there."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."

"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."

"From a development perspective, there's room for improvement in the area called the designer, where you actually build your reports to make it easier to manage the process."

"More emphasis is needed on the availability of the learning aspect of the solution. Because unless you take up their course that enables you to be an expert in creating the report, you must seek help."

"I would like to be able to use SQL properly within the reports and allow multiple people to work on the same report at the same time. If one person is working on it, then it causes issues for anyone else wanting to make reports."

"The setup took a lot of tinkering with InfoSec to allow us to do stuff."

"There needs to be improved guidance and documentation for the initial setup of Power BI as it currently remains complex."

"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and configuration options, particularly for more advanced users."

"The dynamic browsing tables could be better in Microsoft Power BI."

"I would prefer that the solution not be shared. I'm concerned that if we make a mistake we could reveal information to people who shouldn't see it. I would like to have my own on-prem server, to buy my own server and have my own infrastructure for Microsoft BI, with only with my data."

"There are some connector-related issues in their MSBA solution."

"The product’s on-premise reporting servers could support real-time data refreshing capabilities like its on-cloud version."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."

"If you are using SAP, then you will have to take an SAP Connector license. The license across the tool is paying for the people who are using it as an admin or as a normal user. They can work out those costs in a manner that can help. This can also be a point of improvement where they can work out the costing, and the developers have a specific licensing cost. The normal users, who are going to do probably data entry or just going to view the dashboard, can have a separate license cost."

"Excellent value for money."

"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."

"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."

"Its pricing is reasonable for the desktop stuff, but for enterprise-level, it is a little expensive."

"We have enterprise licenses and some of the other tools or features come as a package and others you have to purchase separately."

"Its price is very low. It is like $10 per user, per month. The clients pay for their own licenses. It is not on us. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. That's the beauty. With other systems, you need to spend a couple of thousand dollars just to get started, and then you need to spend $500 per year for the license, which becomes much more costly. You have a system here where for $120 to $140 a year, you can start with two people and start developing and deploying. You can see why the cost difference is huge, especially when you are on a low scale, like us, and you're not building something very huge."

"While Power BI is generally a paid product, particularly for enterprise features and scalability, you can start with the free version and still achieve significant functionality."

"The price for this solution is reasonable. However, there is an additional cost if you want to publish the dashboard privately."

"The costs are small and the benefits are high."

"I rate the product pricing a ten."

"We view it as an expensive product."
